An Incredible Start!
How is it that I miss the best of ManUtd's games? I missed ManU beating Chelsea 1-0 last season and the season before I missed ManU thrashing Arsenal 4-2 at Highbury. And this season, I missed the season opener when the Red Devils overwhelmed Fulham 5-1 because of my flight to UK.
Anyway, I am not complaining as long as ManU retain their winning streak and keep their momentum especially at a time when Chelsea and rest of the tope teams aren't exactly going great guns right now.
I didn't want to miss the away game at Charlton. So I went to one smoky pub in Oxford, paid for my Pepsi and enjoyed the game as ManU excelled once again. There were lots of people in the pub and 3 Chinese guys ( I think) too at my table cheering on ManU and Park-Ji Sung.
People were really excited everytime ManU hit the post or came close to scoring. There were loud cheers when ManU did score finally after half-time but the loudest cheers were reserved when we got an update on the screen that Boro were leading Chelsea 2-1.
Great entertaining play once again by ManU and it is nice to see ManU top the table after a very long time, although it's just 2 games over. Hoping to see some live games in the stadiums. Keeping my fingers crossed. More later.

I guess implications of axing Dein from his seat.Arsenal have to contend with a spent force but still a recent champion Porto, another recent UEFA cup winner in CSKA Moscow (they've not lost their star players like Porto, I guess) and lastly the highly dangerous, physical Hamburg. van der Vaart will pull all the strings in the midfield.
ManU can only make things difficult for themselves. Celtic and Copenhagen will hardly trouble a firing United. Benfica minus Koeman won't have as much sting as last season. Likewise, with Real Madrid, if they can play decent enough they should avoid the position of two years ago when they pipped the same Dinamo Kiev to the KO stages.
Liverpool are getting a relatively easy grouping for a change. And what the hell is going on in Group H? They could have given a direct walkover to Milan for KO stages.

Watford shouldn't pose too much of a threat to ManU. I'm most interested in the fixture after that one-- ManU v Spurs.
yep...easy ones for AC there. Liverpool also shd have it easy.
And, I am eager to watch any ManU match!
CL proved to be a tough nut to crack for ManU in the last few seasons. If anything else, ManU should have learnt the lesson of complacency, especially after what's happened last season.
And if ManU wants to win CL, they have to start winning the league, like what they previously did in 1999. Consolation is, there are obvious signs of doing that. Optimistically it's already nine points out of a possible nine.
I disagree.I feel Liverpool wont have it that easy and Arsenal wont face many problems.
